Pleroma is cool and I had fun setting it up, but for daily use it kinda feels like early Beta version. Hubzilla is just a hot mess from a UI/UX perspective. Lots of great potential and protocol interactivity built in, but actually figuring out how to use it and what you can do with it is maddening. Evidently only certain servers are set up to federate with Mastodon. Which ones? Good question. Google seems unaware of a list. I'm kinda meh on both, as well as GnuSoc and PostActiv. Oh wellz...
Having said that I look forward to a smoother Pleroma experience of following Masto users. I can definitely see migrating to that platform as my main federated social identity. Me, on a lightweight server of one, running off of my Raspberry Pi. interacting with all my fave users/instances of any fed type. That's my goal. Decentralized as heck.
